How Do I create valid xhtml/html page when using editor?

Hi all,

I have a question in my mind.The question is If I will use a online web editor (like fck editor) to post a blog post, how Do I create valid xhtml page?. Because all of the web editors has the copy/paste html code. Or really we allow the copy and paste feature to avoid the error?

I tell all my clients not to copy and paste - I make a big thing about it (which of course many then ignore). In sites where I've built an editable area myself with something like TinyMCE then I stick a big notice above the textarea telling them not to copy/paste directly. With things like WordPress I just nag them alot!!

Most of them get the idea when suddenly their carefully styled site has a big chunk of Word formatted text in the middle of it!

Personally I haven't found the Word copy/paste icon in any of these editors to work very well so when I can I remove it and give them only the most basic options.
